I just flashed a new image of picroft (raspbian_Picroft_2018-01-19_v0.9.1.zip) on a new SD card that I use on a rapsberry pi 3.

It didn’t seem to be listening “out of the box” so I first used say_to_microft “hey microft pair device”.
I got an error about mycroft.conf not found so I copied the content of this page in a ~/.mycroft/mycroft.conf I just created and the command worked fine since microft told me the pairing code that I added on my home page.

I used the test_microphone command to check that my mic is working properly and I got a nice and clean playback.

Since the voice recognition it was still not working, I started mycroft_cli_client manually after SSHing my raspberry and I got the following error:

Hi guys, i have small problem with my PiCroft. I create image on sd card, plug mic usb (playstation eye) + jack (speakers) + hdmi. PiCroft is paired with home.mycroft.ai (registered). And now PiCroft is not respond. What can i do?

OK, this sounds like a bug we’ve been tracking for a while where it seems the microphone doesn’t respond. Some of the information we have indicates this may not be a microphone problem but a problem with the mycroft-skills service.

Can you please try

sudo service mycroft-skills stop && sudo service mycroft-skills start
at the pi@xxx terminal and let us know how you go?
